Hello Mommas!! My name is Leanne Rzepa and I am the owner and founder of Nourish Lactation Consulting. Nourish has been dedicated to helping mothers achieve their breastfeeding goals for close to 20 years within Calgary and surrounding communities. For the past 10 months, Nourish has offered monthly breastfeeding and product essential workshops out of it’s home based office in the beautiful SW community of Bayview (which also happens to be the community I grew up in). At most of the workshops, after the breastfeeding component is finished, I invite one of Nourish’s team members to talk about their business/service and provide a bit of education to the attendees.

The feedback I have received has been so positive that I decided to host a full day workshop so that all Nourish team members have an opportunity to lead a workshop or give a keynote address on the same day.

How the Workshop Will Flow

The Nourish workshop will take place on Saturday April 25th from 8:30am-4:30pm at the Calgary JCC

(1607-90th ave SW).

Participants will receive a boxed lunch plus nutritious snacks and refreshments throughout the day. Nourish is also pleased to offer FREE BABYSITTING for all families

There is lots of free parking at the Calgary JCC and the environment inside is warm, comfortable and inviting.

The day will begin at 8:30am with registration. Each workshop participant will be given a notebook, pen and swag bag with all the necessary teaching/promotional materials required for the day.
